Guido Brunetti, a commisario of police for Venice, has been called to
the Teatro La Fenice, where the maestro of the orchestra has been found
dead in his dressing room. Doctor Barbara Zorzi has been called from
the audience to examine the man before Brunetti arrived, and she told
him that she suspected cyanide poisoning.
The first priority for Brunetti is to learn more about the victim, and
who would want to harm him. Could it be someone from the distant past?
Speaking to many people who knew the victim, Brunetti is able to find
the true culprit in this case. Author Donna Leon sets the reader up for
a surprising conclusion. A good quick read. This is the first book in
a long series I look forward to reading.
